Snow Much Fun Center Step Fold Card - a CASE for Challenge 134

Challenge 134 with the LNS Yahoo group:  The CASE of the Late Night Stamper.  I cased a Center Step Fold card made by Glenda Calkins at The Stamp Camp.

I did, however, change the colour of the card stock, and used the new Christmas designer paper and red glitter paper.

Here's Glenda's Center Step Fold card:



Here's my card.  It's a little bigger |(5 1/2  y 5 1/2")

I used the video tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers here to make the Center Step Fold card.
The card stock was changed to Real Red, and I used the Holly Berry Bouquet designer paper from the upcoming Holiday mini.  The red and white polka dot paper has red glitter dots - it`s really gorgeous.
The snowman image was stamped using Black Stazon ink onto a 3`` circle ( 3`Circle die) and coloured with watercolor crayons and an Aqua painter.  To unify the glitter from the designer paper, the Scallop circle behind the image was cut using the Scallop circle die using red glitter paper.

The image of the bird balancing on the snowball became a Cardinal and was colored red and black. This image was punched with a 1 3/8`` circle punch and backed with a 1 3/4`` circle punch - again in red glitter paper.

The same sentiment stamps were used.  The metallic brads beside the ``Merry Christmas`` wish were embossed with Iridescent ice embossing powder.
